Red

It is certainly the color of ‘danger’ in Among Us, just like it is in real life. You can even call it the epitome of sus. People will suspect you despite being an innocent crewmate which can lead to your elimination, so beware. As someone who picks red, you seem to like attention and you always want to be the talking point – which may work against you in the scenario of the game. No one believes you when you try to blame someone. But if you are feeling brave, go ahead and choose this color for some extra challenge.

Pink

You are the quietest person at the meeting table. People automatically assume you are a girl and many a times, you are one. This player pairs up the pink skin with a pretty flower headband. You carry your quiet nature, even if you are an imposter. No one suspects you throughout the game and if you act like a noob, you can even win as an Imposter. You are basically a silent assassin as the villain and a cute newbie as a crewmate.

Cyan

You are the worst crewmate but one of the best imposters. While playing as an imposter, it is you who starts smartly blaming all the crewmates so that they are eliminated. But then there is a time when you have blamed too many crewmates, and now you are majorly sus. You are sometimes referred to as Light Blue but that’s how you can separate the absolute newcomers from pros. Only pros call you Cyan.

Blue

Everyone feels safe around you and that’s your biggest benefit. You are the best imposter out there, no denying that. As a crewmate, you take the lead and influence others to vote out the one whom you don’t like. Being an imposter, you are great at faking tasks and leading players to go to the Electrical Room along with you.

Orange

You are the one who is always too quick to ask questions on the meeting table, and hence also among the quickest to be sent out flying in the space. While playing as a crewmate, you are fast in completing tasks but not good at turning the tide when the blame is on you. You are also the one who calls an Emergency meeting for no reason.

Purple

You are here only to become an imposter. As soon as you find out that you have been assigned the designation of a ‘boring’ crewmate, you leave the game and get on a hunt to find another crew where you can become an imposter and get some blood on your hands. If you are an imposter in a game with other imposters, you rat them out just to stay safe yourself. You do self reports simply because you like it when the other players end up accusing each other.

Lime

You are left unnoticed in the game and you make the most of that. As a crewmate, you buddy up with other innocent players while protecting them and yourself. But as an Imposter, you act dumb and get your kills in easily. Asking ‘where’ first is your favorite thing to do, especially after murdering someone yourself. You absolutely hate it when people call emergency meetings for no reason at all. But what you hate the most is when players call you Light Green. It’s Lime, for heaven’s sake!

Green

You are the go getter here. As soon as the game starts, you get started with all the tasks immediately. However, you are also constantly accused in the game. Everyone wants to blame you no matter how well you have performed for the team. The same is true while being an imposter, but that gets you at a disadvantage. You don’t recognize whether anyone is watching you or not and just keep on killing crewmates until you are thrown out of the spaceship.

Fortegreen is a color that cannot be selected. It’s a  default color, used for players who either don’t send or send an invalid color to the server. The color is assigned to each player shortly before they connect. Players as Fortegreen have the name “???”, as the color was used for connecting players before the 2020.9.22 update. Players may see the name or color for a split second when another player joins. As of version 2021.2.21  Fortegreen’s color ID was removed from the code so it cannot be accessed that way in most places, causing the player to revert to the lowest color ID.

Yellow

You can be a great imposter but rarely get the chance to be one. The quality that sets you apart from other colors is that you are great at hiding in vents and waiting for crewmates to arrive. Sometimes, you can be too naïve in your decision making though so there’s that.

White

You are the loyal crewmate who continues to do their task even after becoming a ghost. No matter how hurt you are after being dead or thrown out of the spaceship, it is always your duty to get back and complete the tasks. It’s not much but it’s honest work.

Brown

You are the angry one in the game. Filled with rage, you leave the game if someone even suspects you. If you die, you don’t prefer to complete your tasks as a ghost because you are just too angry to do that. But while playing as an imposter, you are the king. You focus on killing all the crewmates while having a low profile.

Black

You are most likely always the cutthroat imposter who is thirsty for blood. The villain within you takes over and you sabotage everything to get the victory. As a crewmate, you like to be the lone and aggressive detective. You follow other players into rooms just to see what they are doing. Sometimes, you peek into Medbay to see who is doing the scan. You know exactly who did the asteroid shooting task. Your suspicions, mostly, come true.

Tan

It is one of the colors  that players can select and customize. It was the thirteenth color designed for  Among Us. Tan was specifically designed as a color unique enough that colorblindness wouldn’t be an issue. This color is used for players who are connecting to the game and can only be visible for a split second when a new player joins the lobby.

Coral

This color, as well as tan, is one of the colors  that players can select and customize. Possible names for Coral before the name was officially decided included Sunset, Salmon, Peach, Worm, Flesh, and Tongue. The Coral emote was later changed to cremate_coral to be consistent with the other available colors

Rose

Rose, is one of the colors in Among Us that players can  select and customize. It was announced on May 20, 2021, and was added to Among Us in version 2021.6.15. Rose’s dead body being reported. Rose calling an emergency meeting.

Gray

The latest color announced for Among Us is Gray, giving players a new customization option. Grey is almost never used in promotional material. Most players that use grey got their color stolen, according to a poll by Intersolth.

Maroon

It is newest color coming to Among Us. Maroon is  an optional color for players to use. As the game’s popularity exploded, players were eager to have increased multiplayer capacity, which of course necessitated the introduction of some new colors for the crew so that there are enough to go around.

Character customization

Once you have chosen your color, you can then customize your character through accessing the character customization interface.
